:'( no one likes my drums :(
 
Hey dude !

Great kit ... I like the 1 up - 2 down setup.
What china is that ?

Keep up the drumming !!!
 
I always like an interval of at least 2 inches between my toms too. There seems to be so little difference between a 12" and a 13". It is much more pronounced in larger intervals.
 
a b8 china :) ps im selling it :p

True, mine are also 12" and 13" ... but I can tune the 13" deep enough to go with my floortom.

man ive never noticed how many stickmarks are on my ride
 
Great snare man.. I like it... but do you always need a moongel?.. I suppose a snare like that doesnt need it.. why dont you try another head?.. just an opinion.
And amazing ride too.. congrats...
 
Hi mrbling,

Well dude,You and your band rocks as you have collection of good materials kit.I like all things related drum and bells.Post some more snaps as I am waiting for your positive reply.

Thanks

yeah true, try out a high energy head they tend to damp things down slightly without totally killing your tone.

As for the kit, looks good. Looks very old-school with those CS tom heads.

if i had the money i would get a new head will eventually. does still sound good now. yr and i do love my ride shame my guitarist dosent. hes an idiot and wants me to invest in a jack white esque kit. he love everything about JW im surprised he hasnt moved to tennessee and started stalking him.

ill try a new head some other time. any remo reccomendations. yr and the CSs are great just got a new 12" as i smashed through it recently going to get some EC2s soon and i need a new bass drum head its nearly gone through recon the CSs will be ok as resos ???

okay well i'd say probably the remo equivalent is actually the CS snare. Personally i'm a preferer of just having 1 ply standard vanilla sort of reso heads, people did used to use them though but it will damp down the sound a bit.
 
yr ok well ill experiment see what its like. my currrent resos are stock pearls :(
